Bookmakers have evaluated higher the chances of Britain to leave the European Union in 2019

5 October 2016

The prime Minister of Great Britain Theresa May has declared that the process of leaving by the country the European Union will be formally initiated at the end of March, 2017.

The bookmakers have sharply cut the odds on the event that Great Britain will leave the European Union in 2019.

After Theresa May's statements the bookmaker William Hill has estimated the chances of Great Britain to leave officially the European Union with odds 1.17. In July the odds on this event were equal to 1.8.

The possibility of Brexit in 2018 or even earlier is evaluated with the odds 7.5. The same odds are used on the event that the country will leave the European Union in 2020 and later.

United Kingdom European Union membership referendum took place on the 23rd of June. 31.9% of the British people voted for Brexit.
